He's planning his to do's, he's so afraid he will be bored for the entire week.. My Daughter has tried to tell him all the fun things there are to do, he just doesn't understand. TIA re

There is one, I think by Supercade. I go in there to play Skee-Ball, but I'm a little foggy right now if the shooting gallery is actually there. I can say for him not to expect one like the shooting gallery that was on Hunt's Pier...

TIA re how about that thing where you shoot the tennis balls back and forth at the boats on Pier 1, the kids can even get in the boats I think. Looks like fun to me... Plus there are all the "shoot out the star" stands. are these the type of shooting galleries he would be interested in? The .22's that they used to have like 30 years ago are gone, as is the bb machine gun where you shot at boats and things on near Dracula's Castle...

TIA re There is a small but nice shooting gallery inside the supercade.( nickels ) I t has a cowboy on a rocking chair that when you shoot his target he leats out a loud yell and shoots a thin stream of water on you! there is also many other things to shoot at.

I think he was looking for .22's or bb's? I'm going to send him this link, so he can follow it. Their "kids" are 4 German Sheppard's, while they will also be coming, they won't be hitting the Walk with them. I know he is absolutely sick of hearing about the pizza wars, Sam's vs. Mack's Thanks everyone.

In NC he like Domino's He's excited about Claude's on Olde New Jersey Ave. www.claudesrestaurant.com/, since he's french he's happy to find a french restaurant here, I told him he was paying. Has anyone ever eaten at Claude's? re

French Food? Wildwood? Those 2 should not even go in the same sentence. For a true expierence of ww eating at its finest hit Duffy's or treck into Cape may and go to the Lobster House.

It does sound "different", but take a look at the menu. Not as overtly "French" as you might think...

I think he was looking for .22's or bb's? I remember my dad shooting the .22s when I was a kid, about 40 years ago. There were a bunch of rifles along the counter top and a revolver at each end. The barrles were chained in a way to make it impossible to turn the weapon towards the boardwalk. I think there were two such sites on the boards at that time. If I remember correctly, you paid the attendant, and he would take out a clear tube of bullets which was pre-loaded with someting like 8-10 rounds. The tube was inserted in the rifle and the bullets slid in place, then he took the tube out. The Wildwood version of the speed loader? Then came the noise. My mom hated walking past the shooting galleries. I'm pretty sure I was too young to shoot back then (don't know if there was an age restriction), but my dad always saved a couple of rounds for me to pop off when the attendant wasn't looking!

I use to be anmazed at the .22 shells after I shot them as a kid.. How hot they got.. I guess that started my on my gun craze. I now have many handguns, rifles and shotguns. I do not think the .22 gallery is still there. I thinks it co2 powered full auto bb guns now? no?
